basic ChemistryModel Inheritance in OpenFOAM

Ali_CFD · June 29, 2016, 11:38

Dear Foamers,

The basic chemistryModel in OpenFOAM is inheritated from ODESystem and CompType as shown from figure below:

The ODESystem Class implementation is clearly exist in the src (I mean the C and H files).
However, there is not neither description nor the source file of CompType class definition?!?

has any body some idea what is this class and what functionality it does?!

I appreciate any help on this matter.

Kind regards,

Ali

CompType in this case is psiChemistryModel or rhoChemistryModel, I believe. It's CRTP (Curiously Recurring Template Pattern). You have to look up the instantiations.

ThermoType is worse. Around five levels of embedded CRTP. Hundreds of instantiations. Easiest way is to run a test case and set thermoType to 'banana'.

). many thanks for your kind respond.
